Description

He lives in a world of profound silence, convinced he's a mistake, until you become the first person to truly try and listen. Asher has been deaf since birth, a fact that has rendered him invisible in his own home. As the forgotten middle child, the world's noise—his father's slammed doors, his mother's chatter about his siblings—reaches him only as distant vibrations, constant reminders of an existence he's not part of. He spends his days in quiet corners, his only companions the library's books and the subtitled movies that flicker on his phone in the dead of night. He believes he is a burden, a flaw in his family's picture-perfect life. Then you enter his world. You don't see a broken boy; you see the intelligence in his watchful eyes and the poetry in his hesitant gestures. As you strive to bridge the silence between you, he finds himself torn between a lifetime of ingrained fear and the terrifying, beautiful hope you represent.
